Contemporary Printmaking from Indonesia and Australia
Pasar Malam / Night Market
From Saturday 15 August
To Sunday 25 October 2026
At the night market, you can buy fake Rolex watches, fried grasshoppers and amulets with “magical” powers. Skinny guys with tattoos operate carnival rides that aren’t safe. There’s a haunted house and a giant python. Gangsters, pickpockets and revolutionaries lurk in the shadows.
The morning market is for groceries and gossip, but the night market is the world reversed; where our repressed fears and desires are set loose. Many of the works in this exhibition reference mysticism, mythology and ritual; conjuring the dark glamour of “otherness”. Every community has a Night Market; a shadow place of buried secrets and illicit pleasures.
Pasar Malam (Night Market) is an immersive exhibition of large-format screenprints exploring the transgressive allure of the Indonesian night market. Each artwork has been created by Krack Studio in collaboration with 15 leading Indonesian and Australian artists.
